My husbands favorite is the apex of the A frame that I think is on the last day. It shows that Dudley actually leaps over the top. And I didn't teach him that. He figured it out on his own!

I hadn't noticed them all either.  I love the picture of him blasting out of the chute.

Cheri, I'm glad you said there were more pictures because I thought each link was to a single shot. IMG_1829 from the second link is my favorite. It looks like he loves the weaves. So many great action shots!

Yes, he's always very eager to start. In fact he barks the entire time we're "on deck". Very impatient boy! Did you scroll through all the pictures? Each link is just the beginning of his photos for each day of the trial.

Love the pic on the teeter, and he looks very eager on the start line.  :-)

Here's my corgi at the last trial we competed in. :D

Grats on getting some weaves!! I just read this article about PWCs learning weaves. It was nice to hear trainers talk specifically about training corgis.

Yes, I used the 2x2 method to teach my dog the weave poles and he had it down in 6 weeks. We tried all sorts of methods with our first agility dog and she still doesn't weave well. I'm sold on 2x2.

We got our own weave poles last night!   Wheee, three sets of the 2x2's for a total of six poles.  I just set them up in the basement and we'll hopefully get to start using them tomorrow.  We were working on Susan Garrett's method with borrowed poles and I was amazed how far Jack came in just ten days or so, so now we can get back to work.

 

We were doing some bounce jump grids too, and a few other exercises to get our lazy dogs to not knock rails.  I was watching carefully and Jack's problem is he drops his hind end too soon, so I'll definitely be doing some work getting him to curl over the jump instead of blasting through.  The bounces helped, but what seemed to help even more was jumping him back and forth from a standstill so he had to really gather over the jump instead of run at it.  I think I need to invest in some cheap practice jumps, too.

Yes that exercise does sound good.  I'm going to get myself four jumps for home and set stuff up.  I'm also clicker-training Jack to do the turn on the forehand thing.

Anyone know where I can get a cheap wooden ladder?
